ELI felt the heat fill the condom and let Joshua slide from his mouth, rocking his fist up and down Josh’s cock, stripping the last of Joshua’s come from him. Then he eased the full condom off and tied it, tossing it into the garbage can near his desk. With a soft kiss to Josh’s hip, he whispered, “Be right back,” and stumbled to his feet, staggering into the bathroom across the hall and closing the door. There, he jerked off quickly into the toilet, a couple of hard pulls with one hand, the other propped against the wall behind the john, holding up his weak legs. “Fuck,” he groaned quietly.

He gazed at himself in the mirror as he washed his hands. The face that looked back at him was flushed with arousal, but inside he felt gray with fatigue. “Oh, son,” he said to his reflection, “what the Sam Hill have you got yourself into?”

No point worrying about it now. He found a clean washcloth on the shelf and soaked it with warm water, washing himself off before rinsing it and bringing it out to the bedroom.

Josh was dozing, but he opened his eyes when Eli knelt on the bed, and began to clean him off. Not that there was much to clean; they’d been pretty tidy. Still, Eli heard a sigh of contentment as he washed Joshua’s balls for him. “Feels good,” Josh murmured.

“Yeah, I know.” Eli tossed the rag on the carpet and crawled into bed beside Joshua. “Can’t stay here long. Gotta get back to work. But you can stay long as you want—I’ll just let Tucker know you decided to take a nap.”

“Here, instead of my room?” Josh’s expression was wry. “I’d think he’d figure things out.”

“He don’t know you’re queer,” Eli said.

“It wouldn’t be hard to figure out, if he found out I fell asleep in your bed.”

“Mm,” Eli said. He hiked himself on one elbow and studied Josh thoughtfully. At his inspection, Josh flushed and reached for the sheet to draw it over himself, but Eli stopped him. “No,” he said, “let me look.”

“Nothing worth seeing,” Joshua said. He shifted uncomfortably, but let Eli look.

There was a tattoo on one side of his chest—a traditional one, of a large heart surrounded by flowers, with a doubled-back ribbon across it. The top fold of the ribbon said “Hannah,” the bottom, “Catherine.” A stranger looking at it might think it was all one name, “Hannah Catherine.” “The only two girls I’ll ever love,” Joshua said.

“Mm,” Eli agreed.

“My father always referred to my mother as ‘Ana’, so everyone in the gang thought Hannah Catherine was a girlfriend, back in Cincy. They thought I’d been in a gang there. The Bureau built up a fake arrest record so realistic that sometimes I worried that I’d end up in jail for real, that they’d forget that the whole thing was a fake.”

Eli traced the outline of the tattoo on his upper arm. This one was less gentle, being a hooded skeleton holding a machete to the skull of another skeleton kneeling before it.
